  • a holistic farm business planner course and

  • tailored mentorship. 

If you have an interest in learning about farming, food security and climate issues, this program is for you! 

The Hayes Farm Regenerative Farming Internship is a community-led program, and their mission is to inspire and mobilize New Brunswickers toward a resilient and thriving food system by providing them with the skills, expertise, and support to practice human-scale regenerative agriculture. Their model addresses local food security, financial responsibility, personal and spiritual fulfillment for individuals, and food production in the local community. They do this in the spirit of honouring Indigenous culture and food ways, integrative principles of land-based learning, and reconnection.

Eligibility Requirements: 

  • Must be an Indigenous person residing in New Brunswick 

  • Must be accepted into the Hayes Farm Regenerative Farming Internship program

Application Deadline:   

The application for Hayes Farm Regenerative Farming Full Internship is separate from the JEDI bursary application. Both applications must be submitted together to hayesteachingfarm@gmail.com by Mar 26, 2021.
